Terms | Definitions |
|---|---|
 Metaphase | In which phase do the chromosomes line up down the center of the cell? |
| Telophase | In which phase is there a pinching in of the cell membrane? |
| Prophase | In which phase will the Nuclear Envelope disappear? |
| Anaphase | In which phase will the centromeres separate between the sister chromatids? |
| Prophase | In which phase will the chromatin noticeably condense into chromosomes? |
| Telophase | In which phase will two Nuclear Envelopes form;One around each set of new chromosomes? |
| Late Prophase - Early Metaphase | In which phase will the Spindle Fibers attach to the centromeres of the chromosomes? |
| Anaphase | In which phase are the sister chromatids pulled to opposite ends of the cell? |
| Prophase | In which phase do the centrioloes move to opposite ends of the cell? |
| Telophase | In which phase do the chromosomes stretch out and become chromatin? |
| Anaphase | In which phase are the ends of the cells pushed outward;elongating the cell? |
| Centromeres | What structure holds the pair of identical chromatids together? |
| Spindle Fibers | What moves the chromosomes around the cell? |
| Centrioles | What anchors the Spindle fibers so that they are braced at the ends of the cell (in animal cells only)? |
| Chromatids | What are the two identical strands of condensed chromatin called ? |
| DNA | Chromosomes, chromatin, and chromatids are all forms of ? |
| Chromosomes | The chromatin will change into ? because it is easier to seperate the two copies in this form. |
| Chromatin | Chromosomes will change back in to ? so that the DNA can start directing the cell. |
| Chromatids | Spindle fibers will attach to the centromere and not to one of the ? of the chromosome. |
| Prophase | This phase takes the longest in Mitosis? |
| Anaphase | This phase takes the shortest amount of time in Mitosis. |
| Reach | The nuclear envelope needs to disappear so that the Spindle Fibers can grow toward and ? the chromosomes. |
| Nuclei | The main objective of Mitosis is to create two separate, identical ? |
| Cell Cycle | The ? is how organisms add new body cells for growth, and add new cells to repair injuries. |
| Different | The genetic information on one chromosome is ? from the genetic information on another chromosome. |
| Genetic Material | All of the chromatids that go to the same end of the cell together during Anaphase, makes up all of the ? of the organism. |
| Chromosome | Once a chromatid is separated from its twin, it will be called a ? |
| Spindle Fibers | It is the pulling and pushing action of the ? that cause the ends of the cell to be pushed out and elongated during Anaphase. |
| Mitosis | The second stage of the Cell cycle when cell division begins is called? |
| G1 Phase | Phase of cell growth and normal cell activities. |
| S Phase | Phase in which the cell replicates its DNA. |
| G2 | Phase in which replicated DNA is checked for errors and the cell readies for division. |
| Interphase | Portion of the cell's life cycle in which no cell division is occurring. |
| G0 | Non-dividing state of some body cells such as brain cells and muscle cells. |
| Purpose of Mitosis | Growth, replacement of dead cells, repair of damaged body tissues. |
| Cell Plate | Wall that forms between two new plant cells during telophase/cytokinesis. |
